on dry beans v canned beans

Absolutely no comparison! In any cooking method, the energy cost is a few cents, but cooking from dry is 6-8x cheaper.

Worker cooperatives prove the important but limited point that while capitalists need workers, workers don’t need capitalists. Most ‘employee-owned’ companies in the US and UK are mainly owned by the highest levels of management with some more buy-in for middle management. It’s typically done with some kind of vesting scheme that keeps junior employees on the hook for years.

These firms still exist firmly within a capitalist context and require workers to become their own exploiters.

Definitely not climate change you reactionary hog.

If you like your instance, you can keep it.

I think unfortunately you do need to have a lot of pre-emptory remarks prepared. The key things to cover are to establish your self-awareness and then discuss some of the triggers of your difficult behaviors and how you want others to feel empowered to address them.

This isn’t one-to-one with a cluster b disorder, but I struggle a lot with compulsively making mean comments. With new friends, I have a short speech explaining it, how I share my true thoughts, and encouraging them to directly speak to me if they feel upset or offended. Sadly, it doesn’t work all the time and more people bounce off sooner, but the people who do stay around it has been possible to build more secure and healthy friendships with.

It might be helpful to find a similar process for yourself.

No need to be stinky, they’re just asking for advice. If you’re annoyed don’t respond, but why be rude?

She is fundamentally not anti-apartheid. She has said that the bombs will keep flowing and that Israel may continue killing children and bombing hospitals at-will. She is a depraved warmonger and you are a disgusting piece of shit for caring about her.

Ultimate B-egg-el: everything bagel, garden veggie cream cheese, slice of sharp cheddar cheese, pickled beets, sprouts, arugula, it’s friday would you like a fried egg, vinagrette.

It seems like a lot of things you want to do on your phone are unnecessary. Why not just use the banking websites in your browser at home? Why not just keep a paper calendar?

Great story! I did the math based on the author’s statement that the american equivalent (not being made at scale) is 5x more at $37,000 and all total they paid about $7,000 to get the truck from the factory to Florida.

For context, a '94 Ford Ranger costed $10,000.

Well you see the president is elected democratically unlike in Germany where the Nazis were never…oh…

This is like the last 2008 style meme produced

He should command Joe to end military aid. Like literally put the main in a crisis of faith idk.

big if true.

I think the callous language used to describe people’s wishes here is incorrect and gross, but I don’t wholly disagree. It doesn’t seem contradictory to envision restorative justice for anti-social violence and repression of our class enemies by any means necessary. What else can class struggle entail? Mao reminds us “revolution is not a dinner party. It is a violent process by which one class overthrows another.” Violence is not to be treated lightly.

What to do with severely mentally ill but structurely-powerless reactionaries is a difficult edge case. I think relatively humane life imprisonment is the best option.
